Ta Ta Toddlin' Town

All good things must come to an end & so I head back to Tacoma today.

Yesterday we wandered Wrigleyville, the neighborhood that surrounds Wrigley Field. It was a quiet day, since the only MLB game scheduled was the All Star Game. Also, after complaining about the oppressive heat from the weekend, it rained on and off all day. The temp was still in the upper 70s, but it was a wet one.



Wrigleyville is wall to wall bars. Hey, it's Cub's territory, and most years they need as much alcohol as they can swallow. Here Rob demonstrates the proper way to drink Guiness in a real Chicago Irish Tavern, Johnny O'Hagans.



Jenn, this one's for you. Meet Bart. Bart is bartender extrodinaire at the Twisted Spoke on Clark St. In real life he is a teacher. A substitute teacher still shopping around for the right district and opportunity. He thinks he wants to teach High School History and English. But he's so cute (this photo doesn't really do him justice) that high school girls won't be able to concentrate in classes. Solution: Elementary Special Ed BD class. Whaddya think Jenn? I think you should recruit him. And if you need company on this recruitment trip, just let me know and we'll hop a plane to Chicago. PS, they have good knitting stores in Chicago so we could score some yarn too!



Well ya know it's time to go when you see this sign hanging on the wall in a T shirt store. It's a tough town. You know that al Capone's ghost lurks around every corner.
